What is an uber pool? I am imagining some sort of German engineering wonder.

I was wondering too. Wouldn't the water get spilled in the turns?

You're clearly joking, but for the unaware, "Uber" is a crowdsource taxi/rideshare service. An "Uber pool" is similar to a carpool. Where you share the vehicle with other riders. Making the "Uber" vehicle, aka, someone else's car, into what is essentially a bus.

I've heard rumors that Uber is even talking about having drivers run a set route.... Like buses do.

We've come full circle.
